Took the Intro - left almost all the way through the course after getting nothing of value (a rehash of every other transformational course I've ever taken, and poorly done at that - also outdated - this course is a almost verbatim the Lifespring seminar that has remained virutually unchanged since the 70s, with no regard for cultural changes - in fact was formerly "Lifespring DC" - the name was changed after numerous lawsuits brought against Lifespring DC and other Lifespring operations - the intellectual property is still licensed to companies such as World Works and MITT in Los Angeles - all the same content) and just being generally disappointed with the level of manipulation and pressure being administered by the course leader (Lynn E Sheridan) and the "staff" (actually volunteers who give appalling amounts of their free time to work for the company for free - giving the company a free work force that often works far over full-time hours with little sleep before, during, after, and between courses) to register into subsequent programs.
When questioned by course members about the pressure and manipulation to register, the course leader told these "errant" course members that THEY were manipulating the course by asking questions. Earlier in the course, course members were derided for NOT questioning what the group was doing (and exercise to "show" how people do not question the status quo, and do not "stand up" for others) and yet here, when people stood up to the group, they were shot down.
The people I knew who had taken the course before me were irate that I left, told me I didn't "get it" becuase I didn't stay, so I "missed the whole point" , and have virtually stopped talking to me since - except to ask me when I am I going to re-take it, and/or if I will come to another guest even for another World Works course.
I have taken literally 20+ transformational courses prior to this one (also derivative of Alexander Everett's work - not Werner Ehrard, just for the record - he was derivative of Alexander Everett, but was better known, so people think it comes from him - also, for the record, Everett's work was extrememly powerful, but did not require "sharing" ie registering others, was NO pressure, and often involved no public sharing during a course at all - all these elements were added by Erhard later and became de rigueur for LGATs ever after ), so it's not that I don't have the stamina or courage for this kind of work. It's just that this course was sub-par, and as far as I've seen, the results are weak, at best. The people I know who have taken them are no better off than before, no more succesful, have no more power or results -other than a good FEELING - and seem to be in need of - or feel they are in need of - more courses.
AIso, took them months to refund me the money I had paid up front for a course I ended up not taking - just as a business practice, sort of bush-league.
Skip it. Landmark Forum gives far better results as far as I've ever seen, is cheaper, fewer days/hours, and has improved over time based on participants' feedback and results.
